Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Fernandina Beach, FL

I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working with adults. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Liberty University. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, and supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed or put a lot of pressure on themselves to hold everything together. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, and I see therapy as a partnership focused on creating meaningful, practical change.

I offer SPECIALIZED, INDIVIDUALIZED, AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT for anxiety/depression and related issues. You will learn "anxiety/depression hacks" that can help you get immediate relief while working on long term change. You should leave your sessions feeling heard, supported, and closer to reaching your goals. You will be working with a skilled and open minded therapist, in relaxed warm, casual, sessions.
